Farah's support for my student was amazing and the matching service provided by SENsational Tutors was incredibly smooth, efficient and supportive. My student has complex needs, including ASD, ADHD, PDA and anxiety disorder, and she needed a period of time of education away from the school environment. Farah was able to establish trust and a supportive environment quickly, and then begin to provide appropriate and effective tuition. I was confident that SENsational Tutors were fully aware of the complex needs of my student and were interested in understanding her diagnoses and presentation. Thank you Farah and SENsational Tutors!
I interviewed several tutors and found two tutor’s (Kelly and Caroline) who were excellent. I live in Asia and they were able to work with my time zone for my son. They were experienced in the IB curriculum. He had several hours a week covering all subjects. They supported with homework and skills. My son is in middle school and has ADHD, he’s severely dyslexic and has dysgraphia. His grades improved, and they were a fantastic resource for me and supported my son and I advocate with his school, which was helpful but had limited capacity. I’m super grateful. Administration were fantastic, responsive and flexible too.
Working with Rachel at SENsational Tutors has been a real eye opener. It's been great to find someone who real understands what my Son needs. Will definitely be using her/them again. Denise

My 16 year old son struggles with various mental health issues, he hasn’t had the best experience with his education until we found Phil !! My son is now doing well and on his way to sitting his GCSEs (something I never thought would happen) and it’s all thanks to Phil . He is very patient and understanding of my son’s needs. He goes the extra mile to support my son by taking him to important medical appointments . They often go out for coffee , take part in sporting activities and educational trips , it has helped to keep education fun but is really having a positive impact on my sons mental health as well as physical health and education. Thanks to Phil being such a great tutor I can now see my son having a brighter future
My teenage daughter has been waiting for years for a CAMHS autism/ADHD assessment and her mainstream school has provided little support for her needs - struggling to focus, understand complex multi-step questions, timetabling independent study, setting realistic goals for herself and coping with anxiety around exams. With Sheree tutoring her, my daughter has made significant progress in 6 months with improved exam results and confidence. But of even greater benefit has been Sheree's kindness, patience and understanding of my daughter's needs, particularly when overwhelmed by difficult emotions. She works at her pace and encourages her at every step. I finally feel that we have a professional on our side who provides not only academic but also emotional support. The matching service provided by SENsational Tutors was excellent - we got lucky with our first choice of tutor.
When I reached out to SENsational Tutors for help finding a SEN tutor for my 5-year-old (likely ASD) so, there were no available tutors to meet his needs. However Joanna, the director, went above and beyond to find Elias the perfect match in a tutor, Kay. I am so so happy with Kay. Her attention to detail and her ability to keep Elias engaged is phenomenal. He usually gets easily distracted but she somehow keeps him interested for the entirety of the lesson. He is always so excited to hear she’s coming and has really embraced her. Elias can sometimes be anxious when meeting new people, but with Kay’s warm personality he easily settled and felt safe with her. Kay took the time to listen to what I wanted for Elias, and has taken every part of it on board to deliver fantastic lessons for him every week. We cannot be happier with the way she handles Elias’ extra needs and quirks. We are so excited to see Elias develop further with Kay’s exceptional guidance, and feel very lucky to have her in Elias’ life.
Following an introduction via the Sensational Tutors platform, we have received exceptional empathetic tutoring for our daughter of two and a half who is non-verbal autistic who is making good progress.
We have had a wonderful experience working with L from SENSational tutors after years of failures by the education system and local schools. Due to being autistic, ADHD, sensory processing differences and anxiety based school avoidance since reception age to year 9, he has missed a lot of education and no school was 'just right'. I was so worried that my son wouldn't be able to engage but right from the first session it was clear to see that his needs were being met and understood better than they had been within any mainstream or special school in our area. Just under a year in and he's talking about college, has aspirations and is set to achieve his qualifications - something I was told he wouldn't even be entered for before having his needs met by the tutor.

Liz passion for education truly shines through in her lessons Thank you for fostering a love for learning in our child. He was always excited to explore new topics thanks for your engaging, professional, reliable, communicative and effective skills you pass on to our son thanks from Charlie Sr. Beverly and Charlie Jr we appreciate your work.
My son is full-time home schooled due to his high levels of anxiety which is the primary presentation of his ASD/ADHD diagnosis. We have previously struggled to find a tutor that could effectively work with our son in a way that properly addressed his anxiety towards school work. SENsational Tutors immediately understood my son's specific needs and matched us with an absolutely brilliant tutor that has made such an impact on our son! Our son's tutor, Effy, puts our son at such ease that his anxiety has nearly disappeared which allows him to fully access the learning material. As a result he has been able to make significant progress in meeting his learning targets this past year. Most importantly, though, is how much our son looks forward to his tutoring sessions each day. As Effy has built such a trusting relationship with our son, it has been just amazing to see his confidence grow! We cannot recommend Effy and SENsational tutors more highly!!!
I am thrilled to share my incredible positive experience with Iain from SENsational Tutors. Our quest for a kind, patient specialist maths tutor, experienced with working with children with autism, led us to SENsational Tutors. While exploring their website, l can across Iain, whose profile immediately caught my eye. My son, with has autism, ADHD and sensory difficulties, along with a chronic sleep disorder, faced significant challenges in engaging with learning. Having been out of school for nearly 4 years, we have struggled to find tutors who could truly understand and work effectively with him. Iain has proven to be a brilliant match for our son. Iain’s adaptability is truly exceptional, he skilfully adjusts his teaching style to meet my sons ever changing needs. Iain can cleverly incorporate my sons special interests into his teaching methods. This not only captures my son’s curiosity but also enables him to actively engage in learning. Iain is rare gem, and we are absolutely delighted to have found him through SENsational tutors.
We have had Luke for our son for the whole of last term to help him following a rough patch at school while he was not attending school due to serious illness due to difficulties at school . Our son has special needs(ADHD ) and Luke understands his needs perfectly - he formed a caring relationship and was his sole specialist sen tutor deleting the whole curriculum- our son caught up in many respects with his subjects and at the same time had fun doing so. His lessons are personally planned and he recognises that each student is unique - his lessons are to the point and challenging but Luke is always aware of when to change direction if the student is in difficulty. He is particularly skilful at including opportunities to build in interests like football for our sim and computer games. He is always helping our son to fulfil his potential and building his confidence. It’s good that he is a very experienced mainstream teacher too do understands how to reintegrate students back into school as needed. He has been the saviour of our sons education and has become a real friend as well as a tutor maintained regular education. Learning with Luke is not a chore- our son leaves each session happy and having learned do much. He is kind and patient and has build a safe space for our son and has really boosted his confidence and understands his needs fully- he looks forward to his sessions with Luke - sensational tutors are brilliant at matching students and tutors as they did with our son
My son has dyslexia and has struggled with English. I found Sensational Tutors through Google and we got in touch with Jane. Jane supported my son through his English Nat 5 (Scottish equivalent of GCSEs) and he got an A. He has historically had fairly poor marks and this result was undoubtedly due to Jane's tutoring. Jane is continuing to assist my son with English Higher and I am so pleased with his progress. He has been so stressed but through working with Jane more regularly, I can see his confidence growing. Jane gives me a detailed summary of each session very quickly afterwards and is excellent at gauging K's mood. She is very caring and engaging and I am overjoyed that we found her. She is an outstanding tutor. Would definitely recommend.
Really great experience with the company. From identifying the right tutor to the tutor itself. It has made such a difference for my 6yo. Highly recommend.
I contacted SENsational Tutors to find a tutor for my dyspraxic son. Joanna has been amazing: she took time to listen to our needs and understand our problems. It was not easy to find a tutor that provides sessions in person but we finally found Ewa. Ewa is a very dedicated tutor. She prepares her lessons with my son meticulously. He can easily lose focus and get frustrated but Ewa manages to keep him engaged for the whole lesson. She is very patient and encouraging and he likes his sessions with her. I can see improvements in his academic performance and he seems more confident. I wholeheartedly recommend SENsational Tutors and Ewa.
Jenna has been the most amazing tutor for my Autistic / ADHD / PDA son who suffers from poor mental health and very mild learning difficulties (dyslexia & dyspraxia) She is positive, enthusiastic and engaging and my son loves his sessions with her. He looks forward to going to them and always comes out happy and is talking positively about the future and sitting exams in functional skills with the help of Jenna. Jenna gives him the space to discuss and talk about his special areas of interests which is key in building a good relationship. She has also been a great support to him whilst his mental health has been poor lately - letting him open up to her and allowing these discussions within the sessions. She’s really helped to boost his confidence and he talks fondly both of Jenna and the work they do within the sessions together. I honestly could not be happier with my choice of tutor. Jenna is a real credit to Sensational Tutors and from a parents perspective it is so lovely to have someone that just ‘gets it’ and doesn’t need constant direction. Jenna understands children like my son, how they learn, and what makes them tick - a gift not many have and is able to adapt her teaching to the needs of the student. Joanna from Sensational tutors regularly checks in to see how things are going which is great as I know there is always someone there if any issues do ever crop up. She is also able to help matching tutors with families which is really helpful, especially if you are needing particular days and times to fit around other EOTAS / home schooling time tabling.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Jane as a tutor for our two energetic and autistic 9-year-old boys over the past two years. Jane is not just a teacher; she’s a wizard who magically helped them transition from homeschooling to mainstream school seamlessly. Her interactive lessons are like a breath of fresh air – our boys actually look forward to learning! She’s turned what could have been a challenging journey into an exciting adventure. Her outstanding work has made a world of difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and warmth in guiding our boys through this educational chapter.
My son has been working with Krista for the past few months and I can't say (or write) enough amazing things about her. My family moved to England when my son was halfway through Year 10. Along with struggling with executive functions and ADD, we quickly realized how important Year 10 and Year 11 are with GCSEs and how far he was behind his peers. About five months into the year we decided to find a tutor to help him out and were fortunate enough to find Krista and SENsational tutors. Since working once a week with Krista, probably the most noticeable difference in my son is his confidence level in testing for GCSEs. Not growing up in this country, we were ill prepared for what it's like to properly revise or sit an exam and be successful. My son was shying away from his studies feeling so overwhelmed and she immediately was able to help him understand the concepts of how to be successful in an exam and how to write properly to achieve maximum points. Simply put, she was able to turn the knowledge that he knew into a format that he could write on an exam and achieve higher scores......this is a huge deal when struggling with executive functioning and brain organization. Once having a better understanding of revising was out of the way, she was able to tailor his tutoring sessions to target topics that he missed in early Year 10 and help him to streamline that knowledge most effectively. As any parent of a child with ADD knows, when a school gives you mountains of paperwork that your student has missed, combing through that and actually having your student focus is a nightmare. Krista was able to take months of studying and focus that into targeted areas to help him be successful on his upcoming tests. Her sessions also allow Henry to change topics every week from physics to religious studies and ask questions for clarification that he might otherwise be too embarrassed to ask. She is always able to make him feel more comfortable in his own skin in class after having a safe space to go through material that he might not have understood on the first or second pass in school. Probably the best thing I can say about Krista is that EVERY WEEK my son looks forward to these sessions. Her warm and inviting nature somehow makes tutoring an enjoyable activity, even after a full day of lessons. He has never once complained or thought that the sessions weren't 100% worth his time and even as I write this note it makes my eyes start to water. The student that she has enabled has gone from being unsuccessful in his mock GCSEs to well on his way to passing or excelling in most of them. I cannot recommend Krista enough, if you are fortunate enough to be able to work with her she is worth all the time, money and effort that you can put into it.
My daughter's tutor is wonderful. Nicole knows how to motivate my daughter and encourages her to stay on task by building activities that help with her engagement. She is great at staying in communication with me and this is very reassuring. Her experience is palpable, the results are plain to see and I am very grateful for her, her support and the peace of mind she brings to me as a parent.
